Rufus R. Noble Read on to find out how you can incorporate their tips into your daily makeup routine.
Spend more time prepping your skin.
It is important to start your makeup routine with a well-prepped face. You don’t want to just look like you are wearing makeup, but you also want it look good. Spending an extra 10 mins will result in a more youthful face.
Use a hyaluronic-rich serum underneath your moisturizer if you have dull, tired, or dry skin. This will give your complexion a healthy glow. Remember to quench the skin prior to applying makeup.
When it comes to the base application, go for a gradual layering approach
Instead of applying your matte foundation that you have been using for years, opt for a gradual layering approach. This will allow you to build up both coverage and colour in a way that looks natural. The best results are achieved by using more products, but less. Start with a primer, or tinted cream such as your BB or CC – for a sheer foundation that will correct your skin’s undertones and brighten your complexion.
You can instantly restore some radiance to the skin by switching to a liquid foundation that boosts radiance or applying an illuminator to your base. If you want extra coverage, you can use it on top of your primer, BB cream or CC.
Remember, your makeup should look like a better version of you, not a separate mask. Illuminating and light reflecting products can help to achieve a more youthful glow. If you love your matte foundation but are not ready to change it, mix it with moisturizer for a lighter coverage.

Bronzer and blush should be applied to the correct areas of your face
Applying bronzer to your face and blush can give you a natural, healthy appearance. But where you place them can make a big difference! Apply blush higher up on your cheeks along the upper cheekbones instead of on the apples. Apply bronzer in a large 3 shape to both sides of the face. Curve from the forehead up to the tops your cheekbones, and then under your jawline. Then blend.

Love your liner
Eyeliner is essential to make eyes stand out. Black gel pencils in the top and bottom waterline will give eyes expression and shape without appearing overdone. To really open up the eyes, use a waterline pencil along the lower lashline. This will also work as an instant refresher when your eyes are tired or red.
ELES Superwear gel liner is a great option for a super-smooth, easy-to-line eyelid. ELES Waterline Liners will make your eyes stand out.
Fill in and extend eyebrows to make eyes bigger
You can change the way you look by changing your eyebrows. Fuller, better shaped brows add dimension to your face and make it appear younger.
Filling in eyebrows at the top and lengthening them gives the eyes a youthful appearance. To ensure longevity, it is best to use a brow pencil and then set the brows in powder a shade lighter.

Lipliner should match your lip color
If your lips are on the paler side, you should choose a lip liner that matches the color of your lips and not the darker (or lighter!) shade. The shade of lipstick is important. It is easier to add fullness and correct shape with a natural-toned lip liner (especially if the top lip has become uneven or lost definition, blending into your skin), as well as correcting its shape.
